GANGWAR, PART 4
BY CHARMELEON-X
Cold sweat dripped from Jessie's forehead as she felt the barrel of the gun pressed aginst her neck. Knowing that she would have to speed up, or die, she stepped on the gas, and the snowmobile's speed rose to impossible heights.
"Drop the gun!" James ordered the freak. He was also in the snowmobile. "Or-"
"Or you'll what?" said the freak in the same, threating cold voice he used to threaten Jessie. James then saw the knife in his hand. He was too shocked for words. "I thought so!" he snarled menacingly. However, pulling the knife made him forget about the gun. Jessie realized her chance, quickly turned around, and threw him off the snowmobile, and into a tree.
"Thanks Jessie! I thought I was dead there!" James said happily. He never thought he'd thank Jessie in the course of his life...
"Hang, we're going up a mountain!" Jessie yelled as she still kept going at high speeds. Eventually, they got to the mountain peak.
"Read Baron go recover the others! I'll take these punks!" commanded Incinerator, as he removed the snowbord attached to Red Barons back. Incinerator strapped himself on, ignited his sabre, and jumped, off using the wings he grew through the mutation to lower himself down safley. "Prepare to die rocket scum!" he cried as he used his wings to propell him foward beside the snowmobile."
"We're going down!" yelled Jessie, as she rode down the mountain, smoke pouring from the engine. They felt the air around them get hot as Incinerator swung his sabre, again and again.
"He's trying to kill us! Do something!" James yelled in panic.
"Merry Christmas!" said Jessie as she handed James a chain. he took a swing, and it whacked Incinerator in the wing. James got caught by the blade, and got a nasty scar near his eye. In rage we swung repeatedly, hitting hi everywhere. Finally, he hithim ith crotch, and he wiped out, tumbling down to the mountain base.
"YES! We did it!" said Jessie and James hugging each other. Jessie then turned around to head back to the party.
Later on..... "Yeah, real great idea boss!' said Mad Dog in angry sarcasm as he held an ice pack to the huge bump on his head. That was immediatley slammed by Incinerator's fist, Mad Dog then screamed in pain!
"Shut up ya' morons! They just caught us off guard, that's all. Anyways I've got bigger fish to fry." his voice having a hint of sadness for the last scentance.
"What kinda fish?" asked Chardude in curiosity.
Incinerator sighed. "I never told this story to anyone. It's what drove me to crime. If you wanna hear where Inferno came from, shut yer traps and listen!" he then began his story.
"I remember. I was born in Celadon 23 years ago, when my father's two Charizards gave birth to a Charmander. I named him Red Baron, because his personality was different from all other Charmander's, and rarley people gave Pokemon nicknames. I remember that we was so close, we could speak each other's languages. But that's not the point. I never really liked the perfumes manufactured in Celadon. I called it toxic smoke as a joke, even though it didn't smell THAT bad. However I was constantly picked on because of it. When I was 13, Red Baron became a Charmeleon, and Erika, who was 16 years old, took control of Celadon Gym. I decided at that age, I'd try to battle Red Baron against Erika's Pokemon to see if I had what it took to be a trainer. However, because I didn't like perfume, I was beaten, and denied acess to the Gym. I kept trying, but instead of getting a badge, I recieved bruises. Eventually, I got Red baron to torch one of the people who beat me, and left Celadon. I began to grow hatred for Team Rocket because they were constantly tryin' to steal my Pokemon on my journeys, and I became a criminal to better fight them. To be honest, I've always wanted to go to Indigo Plateau, but because i didn't have a Rainbow Badge, I couldn't get in!" he then revealed his badges. He had all 7 except for the Rainbow Badge. "However, I've decided to delay the gangwar, and go to Celadon. Cuz' we's got a little bit of unfinished business! But now, let's just saty here for Christmas!" the Infernos agreed to that one.
A week later... "Who are you?" asked Erika, she knew she saw the face, but it wasn't him. His eye's were red now, and grey hair....
"Don't you remember? It's me, Johnathan! The dreaded Inferno leader, survivor of a bombing, and now an avenger!" Erika's mouth grew wide with horror. The red X was usually given to those who insulted the perfumes, but she never thought that it would drive him to become, a criminal.
"I'm.. I'm sorry. I never thought that this would drive you to become-"
"Save for your speeches!" he snarled. "I ran away because of you, now you will burn!"
"To think I felt sorry for you! Remove this scum from my presense!"
Incinerator flashed an evil grin, and mutated. Erika's assistants froze in horror, leving them as easy prey. He threw one through a window, clawed one in the face. One tried to beat him with the red X stamp, but he grabbed it, and ground it up in his bare hand, and then discovered that he gained some firey breath ability, and roasted the rest of the assistants.
"Now, we fight! Red Baron, attack!" Red Baron crashed through the roof, and snarled.
"You still never learned empathy for your your Pokemon, have you? This will be easy! Gloom, go! Gloom popped out of the pokeball, and released an inhuman stench. Red Baron's eyes watered, and he began to gag, but he held out.
"Call that an attack?" he taunted "Try this!" he used a flamethrower attack which sliced through the stench cloud, and fried Gloom!
"No!' said Erika. "Don't give up Gloom, use Stun Spore, then Poison powder!" Gloom released the powders, and Red Baron was on the floor, writhing in pain. Incinerator used his flaming blade finley to increase Red Baron's tail flame. Red Baron then smiled, and red energy built up around his mouth. It grew bigger and bigger, then he released it. It was the Fire Blast attack. Which knocked Gloom out of the runnings.
"I believe I'll take my badge now!" Erika, undaunted by the twisted, inhuman freak's appearence, she handed him a badge and stormed off. "Yes! Now that this little fued has been taken care of, now it's time to plan our next jolly little suprise for Team Rocket! This time, I'm gonna take all the precautions necessary, to send those two who caused our mutations, home in a fine, oak, coffin!" his maniacal laughter rang out through the Gym, and through all of Celadon. Maybe even the whole of Indigo Island.
